Soaper experience! ;) - Our visit to the Soap Museum was nothing short of extraordinary! The highlight of our experience was making our own soap—a truly unique and memorable activity. We were thrilled to take our handmade soap home, allowing us to escape to Sicily even on the rainiest days in Belgium every time we wash our hands. The olive tour was another standout moment. We learned more in this visit than we did during an olive tour we had booked earlier that week. The museum's commitment to ecological farming is impressive and inspiring. Alessandro, our guide, brought the museum to life with his passion and enthusiasm. He truly made our visit special, sharing his knowledge with such joy and dedication. We wish him all the best, and may all his (gin) dreams come true! Grazie mille, Alessandro, per tutto!

not to be missed - very interesting experience, for adults and children. We learned many things thanks to Alessandro, creator and manager of the museum. His ability to involve in the history of the place and traditions has accompanied us to the discovery of this simple product that we use every day.

Beautiful experience. - Beautiful experience, Alessandro has the ability to make you relive the history of soap and excite you with his stories. The museum is situated in a wonderful landscape, among over ten varieties of olive trees all between the mountains and the sea. The price is symbolic considering Alessandro's presentation. I highly recommend it.

Very interesting visit of the Olive Grove and the museum - Very interesting the visit of the Olive Grove, the explanation on how it is maintained only with natural methods, equally interesting the visit of the museum with the history of how soap was produced from its origins to the present day, excellent products also to try.
